I lock my mind in a pool of memories
Swimming in the dark
It soothes my thoughts
I leave it all behind
And allow myself to sink
Deeper and deeper
Hungry for my breath
Reflection surrounds me and holds me tight
A gesture of selfish affection
As this pain escapes my lips
And rises to the surface
I’m in no rush to follow
Emotions weigh dull and heavy
And I let them hold me down
I’m told that there will come a morning
When the light will break through
And I’ll want to reach for it
But for now, I like this peace
This numbness
And in it will find solace
